Sniper: Ghost Warrior for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

I picked up Sniper: Ghost Warrior because I was looking for something akin to the sniper missions in the various call of duty games, and this looked like just the match. Popped in the game, and absorbed the great environments, but awful shadowing. For a game that deals with hiding in the shadows, you would think they would have put more emphasis on them?

After the simple training mission, and being surprised to hear the F word (don't have a problem with it, but the way the characters use it sounds like they're surprised they're even saying it), I was off to snipe some dudes.

The first mission was fun, it zooms in on your bullet as it enters the enemy's skull, and the sneaking around is very gratifying.

Everything after the first mission is bullcrap. Actually, let's talk about the end of the first mission...

As we come behind some ominous complex, our position is given away through storyline-related happenings, and I have to use the grappling hook to get down the cliffside to snipe some other dudes.

15 tries it took. On the last 10, I realized that killing everyone was the only way to get down. Around try 12, I finally got how to use the grappling hook. It is impossible to use and I wouldn't reccommend it.

Anyways, after getting past this area and into the second mission, They ramp up the difficulty to somewhere near beating Modern Warfare on Veteran blindfolded while alarms go off. You can't see the enemies. They magically know where you are, there's no way to go around, and you are generally screwed. I finally beat this mission by, again, killing everyone. Isn't a sniper's job picking off specific targets, not taking down armies?

Anyways, somewhere after the level where you're not a sniper anymore for some reason I ripped the game from my console and sprayed it with holy water before putting it back into its pouch and sending it back to the pits of Hades from whence it came.

I would suggest Sniper only to people that are masochistic.
